Do you weigh in and Measure each time or Just Weigh only

On the check in screen it gives you the option of entering your weight. It also has a place to put your body measurement. Do you weigh and measure or just weigh? Please explain your logic behind doing 1 or both. Does the scale tell the whole story each week of how much you followed the plan? What insights can you get from measuring ?

Hi @mpkpbk2015

I use measuring tape more often ... (I’ll weigh here and there just to gage fluctuations, esp water weight..) I know what dresses I can fit into and buy online based off measurements. ... So I’ve found tape to be more useful for my needs.

Yea another measurer, I was starting to think I was the only one who measured regularly. Actually sometimes I like my tape measure more than my scale. Love the red shoe emoli.

I've got a Withings wi-fi scale and step on it every morning. Have been measuring my waist every week or two but nothing else.

Two measurers in a row. I am on a roll. My tape tells me more sometimes when the scale is not moving about my progress which is why I use both. Have a great day.

I check my weight almost everyday to see how the day before went. I log my weight every week. Occasionally I will measure my waist where my pants sit. More than a measuring tape, I prefer to judge by trying on a pair of shorts I want to fit into. When I first got them I could hardly get them above my knees. Now I can get them all the way up. I can’t wait until I can get them to button and zip.

I know what you mean I have a section still in my closet of clothes that I plan to where again. And each new one that fits again is a victory lap around the bedroom. Good luck on your journey. Wishing you much success.

Just a victory lap - no bouncing on the bed?

LOL I would bounce on the bed but It is pretty old and I would probably break it. Hugs to you, thanks for making me smile, I am missing my mom today. Tomorrow is the anniversary of her passing so she didn't get to see me reach my goal. But I know she's looking down from heaven and happy for me. But I was still a little sad today.

I weight and measure myself. I go by weight then when I can't see any change I stop for two weeks weighing myself and I measure myself...then I wait another two weeks and weight myself again..I am weird I know but its something that has helped me.

I measure several times per week and weigh multiple times a day. I like seeing how everything I put in my body effects me.

Not weird at all I like that 2 week intervals probably give you nice results. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week.
